traditional arrows and broadhead?
« on: April 05, 2013, 05:57:40 PM »
Does anyone have advice on wood arrows or broadheads? I was looking at some raptor archery arrows. And zwickey 2 blade eclipse broadheads. . . Anyone ever used anything from raptor archery or the broadheads?

I have done a lot of business with ted at raptor archery and spent a lot of time in his shop.

Buy the zephyr or simmons they are both very well made heads.

Check out northwest archery;
http://www.nwarchery.com/
Their history and tradition is worth supporting and her arrows are a work of art.  I usually get the spruce. 

Of course the nest step in traditional archery is making you own :chuckle:  It is like reloading and just as addicting.

Depending on weight of broadhead you use most of the old reliable brands are good.  I use Stoss but, honestly can not say it any better that others mentioned.

Suzanne St. Charles - One of my favorite people on this earth!  You won't find a better wood arrow.  She takes her arrows very serious and it shows.

I am a fan of the Zwickey heads for traditional wood arrow bowhunters.  Solid construction, good steel, great bargain and a great and successful history.  I do prefer the Eskimo or Delta models over the Eclipse.
